Abstract

The chapter examines the increasing demand for green products and regulatory pressure driving banks to consider ESG risks in their credit risk management policies. It investigates the relationship between ESG practices and credit risk, focusing on the impact of ESG scores on non-performing loans and solvency ratios. The study uses a panel of European banks and regression analysis to test the hypotheses that better ESG performance reduces credit risk and improves financial performance. The findings highlight the positive relationship between ESG scores and credit quality, providing valuable insights into the strategic importance of ESG practices in the banking industry.
